Brotherhood Evil Mutants 2 Generations by Semeiks and Ivy

Finished inks by Chris Ivy over Val's incredible layout and pencils!

I was mulling over this concept based on an old Dave Cockrum Uncanny X-Men ad, (pictured below), and as a companion piece to it I had Val utilize the first and second generations of Magneto's vision of his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Some of my only real requests was to have a Magneto head above the teams, and the other was to have Blob in the middle of the two teams, as he was on both; as the anchor between them. I requested he have his arms crossed and smirking...everything else was on Val. I totally loved his idea of Magneto looming largely over his "concept teams" and holding them on a platter. It was reminiscent of an old shot from the Kirby days. (see pic at bottom) As usual, Val knocked it out of the park and provided exactly what I was looking for!
